Speaking in London following the release of the report, Rose, from Pollok , said Blair “got his comeuppance today”.

She continued: “I didn’t think we were going to get that verdict but I’m really pleased. I hope he goes to his bed and thinks ‘What the hell have I done?’ because he will never be forgiven.

“What we’ve been hearing and what we’ve been reading is very hard and I think that’s why there are a lot of mothers and fathers who have been in tears today.

“A lot of us have held it back for weeks and what’s been confirmed has gut-wrenched a lot of us.”

The Chilcot Report was also raised in the Commons by Glasgow South West MP Chris Stephens. The SNP man called on the government to apologise to the families of those affected.

He asked the Prime Minister: “Do you not appreciate that the state should apologise to those military families for their sons and daughters being sent into a war without the correct equipment, and will you take this opportunity to apologise to those military families?”

Mr Cameron replied: “I think you're absolutely right that providing the correct military equipment is an absolute obligation on government and I think huge steps forward have been taken in the last few years to make that happen.

"In terms of the responsibility for apologies and all the rest of it, the government that took these decisions, the people responsible are still alive and able to answer the criticisms in the report.

"I don't think this is appropriate for me today, because I think the people who made these decisions are still around.
